I love the concept of the adjustable subframe lock!
It'll be great to be able to simply (and non destructively) dial the lock in exactly the way you want it. I know it is wishful thinking, but maybe it will cut down on some of the bitching about lock up.

The adjustability of the Sub-Frame lock is a cool feature in that it allows the user to compensate for eventual wear, and dial the lock into a their personal preference position.

Very nice! Looks (sounds?) expensive tho! :o

It is unfortunate that Carbon Fiber, Devin Thomas Damascus, Titanium, 3-D machining, N360 steel, and Made in the USA can't be had on a limited budget.
 
Any info on N360? Specifically on edge retention and toughness any comparable steels? This will probably be my 2nd ZT, unless the ZT/Hinderer flipper is available first or the 550, then it'll be my 3rd or 4th. Looks great :thumbup:

And with that in mind, you get what you pay for. Seems to me we're gonna be getting quite a bit with the 0777. Can't wait! :D

Interesting. Though given the materials and aesthetics, I would have thought this would be released under the Kershaw brand, rather than ZT. It makes me think of the Volt I, though its a completely different knife.
 
[ZT0777] Excuse me while I go pick up my socks. They were just knocked off.

It's for the high-speed types when they go out for a fancy party ;)
 
:eek:

Yup, another must-have from ZT.

The lines remind of Galyean's work, but the shape is unique. And drop-dead gorgeous.
 
Wow! I'm going to stop making the new scales for my EDC'd JYD II CB, forget about buying a Rake, and start saving for this knife.

Composite blade (with Damascus no less!), carbon fiber, titanium, bearings, and a subtle pocket clip... What else could I have asked for?

Can it be ready for the middle of the month so I can finally tell my wife what I want for our 20th anniversary? :)

Thank you!
Dave
